October 1st 2004 JVC DR-MV1: DVD Recorder & VHS Combo
Due to its versatile compatible formats and an array of user-friendly functions, recording and playback of JVC-trademark high-quality pictures remain. With the new DVD/VHS recorders, JVC's extensive expertise in the area of video technologies is optimally applied to deliver high-quality pictures. A JVC-exclusive technology tandem -- Super MPEG Encode Pre- and Post- Processors -- improve picture quality both in recording and playback. This results in the highest-possible resolution with minimal MPEG compression noise, even when pictures are recorded in long-time modes at reduced bit rates. It’s equipped with technologies for presenting solid, natural, high-resolution pictures in PAL progressive format. Motion Active Progressive Scan Output intelligently generates a progressive scan signal from interlaced scan sources, such as TV programmes recorded on DVD. For movie sources, JVC's exclusive Digital Direct Progressive Scan technology enables the units to deliver PAL progressive pictures without interlacing the original pictures. User-Friendly Features One key feature is easy access to recorded programmes. The JVC recorders can memorise data from up to 1,300 programmes -- the recorders can actually tell you which disc to load to view a particular show. JVC has also simplified the timer recording processes. On-Disc Timer Programming lets you complete timer setting simply by loading a disc -- you can pre-programme the desired content for timed recording directly onto the DVD disc. Simultaneous recording and playback of TV programmes, available with DVD-RAM, offers functionality similar to that of a hard disk drive. Additionally, the i.LINK input terminal allows for dubbing and editing of MiniDV video camera content. The high-resolution Graphical User Interface (GUI), with easy-to-follow icons and legible letters, also enhances ease of use. Exclusive Benefits of DVD Recorder + VCR Combination The DR-MV1, with its DVD Recorder + VCR combination, provides exclusive benefits. With the combo recorder, you can start dubbing a programme from VHS to DVD or from DVD to VHS by pushing a single button. The DVD recorder skips any blank space on tape in VHS-to-DVD dubbing, so DVD discs are free of unwanted blank spaces between recorded programmes. In for added convenience, the unit incorporates a time base corrector. The technology significantly improves the quality of pictures from VHS when dubbing to DVD by effectively reducing the jitter typically contained in images from worn and older videotapes. The recorder also comes with two tuners allowing simultaneous recording of two different programmes from two different channels on DVD and videotape, respectively. Long-time Recording with High Resolution Pictures (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format) Recording time can be flexibly adjusted depending on the length of content or the desired picture quality and offers four recording modes; 1, 2, 4 and 6 hours of recording on a single disc uniquely maintaining high-resolution pictures even over extended recording periods. With conventional DVD recorders, image quality can become degraded with long recordings, due to the trade-off between reducing noise and maintaining resolution. With the JVC recorders, however, the recorder attenuates MPEG noise while maintaining a high horizontal resolution. In the 3-hour recording mode (FR180), for example, the unit maintains 400-line high resolution, as compared with about 250 lines for recorders using conventional technologies. The XP mode offers optimum picture quality at approximately 500 lines of resolution. To assure recordings that fit precisely on the disc while offering the best possible quality, you can also manually adjust the sampling rate from among 63 steps (up to 8-hours of recording in FR480 mode), or set the deck to record a programme on a blank or partially recorded disc with automatic sampling rate optimisation. Library Database DVD Navigation and Animated Thumbnail (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format) It can memorise information from up to 1,300 programmes, including such information as titles, disc numbers, and recording dates, and when you choose one, the player tells you which disc to load. Once loaded, thumbnail pictures of recorded programmes are displayed. And when you select a thumbnail, it becomes animated --complete with sound – for easy programme content recognition. On-Disc Timer Programming (DVD-RAM/DVD-RW VR Format) The desired content can be pre-programmed directly to the disc for timed recording, which means that setting the recording timer is as simple as loading a disc. This is a particularly useful function for recording a TV series or other content all to the same disc. Conventional timer programming is also available. Live Memory (DVD-RAM) DVD-RAM’s superior rewriting capability allows Simultaneous Recording & Playback -- just like a Hard Disk Drive. Play scenes you missed without stopping current recording or having to wait until the end. Since the scene being recorded in real-time can be displayed in a window using the Live Check function, you’ll know exactly when to stop recording i.LINK Connection An i.LINK terminal enables digital connectivity with other equipment including MiniDV video cameras. The input DV signal is directly converted to MPEG-2 format — a digital-to-digital conversion that ensures high-quality images with less noise, less loss, and highly accurate details. This connection also lets you control the DV unit through the i.LINK cable, using the DVD recorder's remote so you won’t have to bother with using two sets of controls. Recording and Playback Technologies for Superior Picture Quality The Super MPEG Encode Pre-Processor ensures superior image quality when recording from analogue by effectively reducing noise before MPEG-2 encoding takes place. It's a 3-step process: * Time Base Corrector (TBC) eliminates jitter contained in analogue input signals * Frame Synchroniser corrects frame crossover jitter and processes any deviant frames * Motion Active Noise Reduction system reduces the noise of moving pictures by precisely detecting the motion and applying the algorithm between the moving pixels. This selective noise reduction ensures that encoded images -- especially moving subjects that are likely to draw the viewer's attention -- are free of edge smear and image lag. The Super MPEG Post-Processor works to reduce picture playback noise, also in 3-step process: * Block Noise Reduction circuit reduces annoying 'block noise' caused by MPEG-2 compression. * Colour DigiPure conducts 3D noise reduction and enhances colour and detail to provide sharp yet natural pictures. * Hadamard Noise Reduction system eliminates 'mosquito noise'. JVC’s DVD recorders can produce PAL Progressive (625p) signals from any DVD being played. Motion Active Progressive Scan Output* generates a progressive scan signal from interlaced sources, such as TV programmes recorded on DVD. Digital Direct Progressive Scan Output delivers the original progressive data – such as a movie on pre-recorded DVD -- without converting to interlaced data, so there is no quality loss and the picture remains true to the original film source. |
